The great game of cat and mouse
The government claims they have come up with a perfect solution to... everything.
Anyone who is homeless, unemployed or just not on good terms with the government is killed. This solves climate change, greenhouse gasses, world hunger, diseases (yes, covid) and, of course, overpopulation. But it's not that simple, well, it could be, but what fun would that be?
In a society where heirachy, money, marriage and fame is everything, only the richest can afford to play the game of cat and mouse, a cold hearted killing game. The reward, 1 million dollars, fame and a life of luxury.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
